Variant Heat Check for 4/10/18

The Eternals #1 30 Cent Price Variant

Rumors started flying that Marvel’s cinematic phase four would include the Eternals, causing a run on the 30 cent price variant. An 8.5 went for $260, while raws were going for over $100.

Dark Nights Metal #6 Diamond Retailers Summit Variant

HEAT CHECK STATUS:

Even though the Unpressable Defects crew weren’t the biggest fans of the ending to the Metal series, this book has been selling pretty steadily for $40-50. Not bad for a freebie!

Amazing Spider-man #798 Kirkham C2E2 Variant

HEAT CHECK STATUS:

The argument goes on as to which book holds the first appearance of the Red Goblin, but there is no arguing that this book briefly hit $100 before the undercutters dragged it down to $80.

Gideon Falls #1 Lemire ComicsPro Variant

HEAT CHECK STATUS:

I read it and am intrigued by where this book is going. It started at $20, but has slowly risen to $40, and now has become a ghost. Surprisingly a second printing was announced the day of release, so this series is seeing a lot of interest.

Note: Variants appearing in the Top 10 will not appear on this list due to contractual obligations.

Under cutting on that Dark Nights Metal #6 Diamond Retailer Summit Variant is already pushing it down to $35ish on the bay with dozens available between $35 and $50. No doubt it’s still good money for a freebie but don’t rush out and overpay be it for a flip or for the PC.

Odd how so many people here praise Jeff Lamire, but no one has read the one title he’s been writing longest. Longer than Sweet Tooth or anything else: Bloodshot for Valiant Comics. He’s been writing it since 2015 and still is. Nearly 40 issues so far. Great read.
